By the way, my dad has a little Toyota Corolla from the early 2000s, it's a pretty tiny car, and I can fit all my 7'0 or smaller rods in it (I use shorter rods than most, I know, I like them short for bank fishing). I don't know how long of a rod you want to get for him, but if you think outside the box you can fit rods inside most vehicles, unless you're driving a Smart Car lol.
